Gurus -- gotta love 'em. Here are not-so-great moments in punditry, courtesy of Thomas Frank, plus one gem from Gary Hamel.
Anita Roddick on an entrepreneur's mind: "There is a fine line between the delinquent mind of an entrepreneur and that of a crazy person."
Rich insights from Lester Thurow: "Those with great wealth are important, to be courted. They are deserving of respect and demand deference. They are the winners. Wealth ... is the only game to play if you want to prove your mettle. It is the big leagues. If you do not play there, by definition you are second rate."
George Gilder on an entrepreneur's soul: "It is the entrepreneurs who know the rules of the world and the laws of God."
Tom Peters gets a big idea: "It's easier to kill an organization than to change it. Big idea: DEATH!"
Gary Hamel soars like a goose: "Watch a flock of geese turning and swooping in flight, undeterred by wind, obstacles, and distance. There is no grand vizier goose, no chairman of the gaggle.... Yet their course is true. And they are a flock.... Too many executives have been trying to design flight plans for their far-flung flock rather than working to create the conditions that would help their brood get off the ground and on their way to new and distant shores."
